Forgive me asking a stupid question [:O]ops: - but I don't have surround sound speakers and only a cheap hi-fi thru which my PC is routed - but if I listen to this thru headphones will I get the benefit of the surround sound? I have XP & WM9.

Compliment to Christian Kardeis & Dietz Tinhof !!!
I compared I Promenade and IV The Old Castle with a recording made in 1994 with The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. After a while i didn't knew which one is a real orchestra, sometimes i even liked the virtual one better.
Amazing.
Makes me feel that we made the right choice.

I like the demos very much, but as i've written in a separate thread, the intonation is the main problem, which makes some passages sound not realistic, specially in Unisonos...
I think, it's an absolute must for further updates, that the VI-s have the opportunity of a centwise random detuning (like the EXS24 has).
Its really amazing, how much more realistic a unisono passage sounds with a random detuning of +/- 10-15 Cents.
(even if in reality the situation is probably more complex;some instruments play more exact some less)

De-tuning option would be very nice to have.

One quicky: in the Great Gate, about 1:40 in, string players play these downward runs with long full bows. Lots of weight, and the entire bow. More pronounced, even sounding somewhat accented. At about 1:52ish you cannot even hear the strings, only low brass. This is not quite accurate, and my only comment. Thanks.

Just in case you didn't see it yourself already: The 5.1 mixes are now available for download in our Demo-Zone, under Classical / *M* / *title*. You still have to have a WMA-compatible player, though.
